20. Make a scouting report for any of the ISFL or DSFL draftees. Show their stats, abilities, TPE, or highlights. Written or graphic option available.
I have never seen a player exhibit more warranted confidence than Miles Weperom. No matter what he does, he always excels. In his rookie season with the London Royals, Weperom recorded a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, a sack, and three interceptions. Did I say his rookie season? Sorry, my mistake, that was his statline from the four games when he was on waivers with 57 TPE. Weperom would go on to get drafted by the Norfolk Seawolves with the first overall pick in the DSFL draft for his true rookie season. It would not surprise me at all to see Weperom pull the double and get drafted with the first pick in the ISFL draft, as he always demands to be number one. Weperom’s user, MMFLEX, is the number one user in his class with 273 TPE, a whopping 14 ahead of the second place user. He also recorded the highest number of correct predictions throughout the season, earning him a league-high 44 TPE. MMFLEX is active in multiple league servers and brings a ton of energy whenever he is around for a conversation. He always believe that his team will win and that he is the best player on the field at any given moment. Any ISFL team that is able to land him will not regret using their pick on Weperom.
21. Now thats three seasons on the new sim. What are your thoughts? Do you think that it is better than DDSPF16?
Even though there are some new oddities with DDSPF21, I am still overall pleased with the transition from DDSPF16. One of the most important exploits (79 Speed QB) was phased out with the transition to the new sim, so now there is no clear-cut dominant quarterback archetype that stands above the rest. Additionally, I really like the trait system that has been implemented in the new sim as it allows for an additional way to customize your player aside from solely increasing attributes. Most importantly though, my favorite aspect of transitioning to DDSPF21 is that greatly diminished bulk sim testing. I understand that this is still done through some methods, but the scope and amount of testing is far removed from what was possible in DDSPF16. I believe this has led to more diversity in player builds, as it is now much more difficult to definitively say that one archetype of a given position surpasses the other archetypes. About the only thing I miss from DDSPF16 is that the sim streams were shorter, but I believe this is because there were fewer plays in DDSPF16 (at least, it certainly feels that way as I can certainly recall spikes taking an absurd amount of time in the old game).
25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?
I can’t answer this question directly, but I can certainly tell you what would have happened given today’s rosters. When I created Juan Domine back in S24 I didn’t know that every player makes a DSFL roster, so I wanted to pick a position that was in short supply that would be highly valued. At the time, I somehow came to the conclusion that linebacker was the right position. I wasn’t tied to it in any meaningful way, but I believe that there weren’t enough linebackers to go around in the ISFL or DSFL—or it could have even been something as silly as noticing that there were very few free agent linebackers, which doesn’t make any sense in retrospect. If I were to repeat the same procedure again knowing more about how the league works, I’d most likely land on what I plan for my next player to be anyway—an offensive lineman! There are currently 47 offensive linemen on ISFL rosters, so that means 23 roster spots are currently occupied by bots. I am a firm believer that the fewer bots we have on the field, the better the experience will be for all of us. I am not particularly attached to accolades for my player, so I am happy to play a less flashy position if it means we can fill out the team’s roster a little more.
28. Choose one existing award. Tell us why you think a certain player should win that award this season. Stats, or anything else possible should be used to support your case.
I would love to see Kiara Tenoh of the London Royals win Running Back of the Year in the DSFL. From what I can tell, the award looks to be a two person race between Tenoh and John Huntsman of the Grey Ducks. Huntsman has 81 more rushing yards and two more rushing touchdowns than Tenoh (though the touchdown gap is softened a bit by the fact that Tenoh had one more receiving touch down than Huntsman), but it also took him a whopping 81 more carries as he was the only running back rostered by Minnesota this season. Tenoh is the only running back averaging more than five yards per carry, with the next closest player (Noah Johns of the Portland Pythons) sitting at 4.8. To further argue for Tenoh over Huntsman, I think it is wise to consider the TPE of the players and their roster construction. Huntsman came into this season as a second year capped DSFL player, while Tenoh is a rookie who has not yet reached the DSFL cap. Additionally, Tenoh has one human offensive lineman blocking for her, while Huntsman line is complete with three humans and two GM bots. Tenoh was simply more efficient and almost matched Huntsman’s volume, doing more with less resources at her disposal, and I believe the awards voters (except for Minnesota) will share the same view.
